Q: o/c vidcard always or just for games?

[Wade]

Hi folks...

Like the subject says, I'm wondering if you folks generally keep your graphics adapter overclocked all the time or do you just notch it up when you want to game?

I've taken my GF3Ti200 up to RivaTuner's & Coolbits recommended maximum of 220/500 with excellent results (no additional cooling), but I only set it there when I want to play a game, otherwise I leave it at stock speed (does office 97 & ie6 benefit from a faster 3d card? of course not).

Cheers,
Wade

I only overclock my graphics card for 3dmark. You don't notice the overclock in games too much, but you do notice all of the tweaks. I figure, if I can run the game at 1600x1200 at its medium to highest settings, then I don't really need to overclock it for in game play.

I leave my thing oc'ed. It'd be a pain to switch back and forth.

Same here, have my cards oc'ed all the time.

it really doesn't push the card in 2d, leaving it oced isn't a problem.

Overclocked all the time.

I leave my gainward ti200 clocked at 240/550 all the time.
